Opel’s smart integrated bike rack.
The Opel auto manufacturing company has done little to justify its existence since Adam Opel designed his rocket cars in the thirties. Most of the cars Opel (Vauxhall in the UK) has offered since WWII has been pretty dull rust-buckets and down-scaled versions of GM best sellers. Some (rare) examples have been fun and lovable rust-buckets, like the Kadett Rallye and the Opel GT, cars we can’t but love even though they fall apart before our very eyes. Now, however, Opel has managed something quite unique; a smart feature. The integrated, foldable bicycle holder. Available as an option for the Opel Antara and Opel Corsa models at about SEK 7.000:- (approx. GBP 500:-). We can only agree with Bilfeber and say: “Smart, Opel”.
